Our basis

ARAN Holding GmbH is based in Bad Schwartau near Lübeck and holds shares in about 30 small and medium-sized enterprises operating in the fields of recycling, real estate development and technology. It was established in 1991 to improve the efficiency of the management of a number of existing individual companies and to optimise the use of synergies.

In addition to the operational management, the staff departments of the ARAN Group such as accounting, controlling, human resources, IT, marketing and public relations, which provide services for the group companies, are located at the ARAN holding company in Bad Schwartau.

ARAN is Frisian for ‘home’.

The employees of medium-sized companies can feel safe in our group. As a reliable parent company, we not only offer financial stability and protection but also strong backing, which enables our subsidiaries and affiliates to grow and be successful.

We create an environment that radiates trust, continuity and team spirit. We firmly believe that a strong ARAN (=HOME) is the basis for sustainable success – today and in the future.

Sustainability

Sustainability is not just a term for us, but an attitude. Our goal is to optimally combine ecological responsibility and economic growth.
